1) GET:- Used when the client is requesting a resource on the Web server.
2) HEAD:- Used when the client is requesting some information about a resource but not requesting the resource itself.
3) POST:- Used when the client is sending information or data to the
server—for example, filling out an online form (i.e. Sends a large
amount of complex data to the Web Server).
POST sends data to a specific URI and expects the resource at that
URI to handle the request. The web server at this point can determine
what to do with the data in the context of the specified resource.
Example can be
obj.set_attribute(value)
4) PUT:- Used when the client is sending a replacement document or
uploading a new document to the Web server under the request URL.
PUT puts a file or resource at a specific URI, and exactly at that
URI. If there's already a file or resource at that URI, PUT replaces
that file or resource. If there is no file or resource there, PUT
creates one.
Example Can be
obj.attribute = value
5) DELETE:- Used when the client is trying to delete a document from the Web server, identified by the request URL.
6) TRACE:- Used when the client is asking the available proxies or
intermediate servers changing the request to announce themselves.
7) OPTIONS:- Used when the client wants to determine other available
methods to retrieve or process a document on the Web server.
8) CONNECT:- Used when the client wants to establish a transparent
connection to a remote host, usually to facilitate SSL-encrypted
communication (HTTPS) through an HTTP proxy.
